FREDERICK, Md, June 19.-The demo
cratic county central Committee of Frcdcr'
ick county met here Yesterday. Col. l.. Vic
tor Baughman, chairman, presided. All the
districts were represented except one. II
was decided to hold primary meetings on the
9th of July for the selection of delegates to a
county convention on the 10th, at which
delegates will be named to attend a
convention in Baltimore on the 27th and al
so to another county convention for the nom
nation of candidates for Sheriff, States at.
torncy, State senator, county commissioner,
etc.
AT the primaries to be held on the 9th
members of a new county central committee
will also be selected, not more than seven
from each district, except Frederick, which
is to have 25. Mr. Frederick J. Nelson, rep.
rcscnting the reform element in the county
provoked a little lively talk in the meeting
yesterday by moving that delegates be elect
cd at the primaries by ballot instead of being
appointed by authorized chairman, and that
the pools be kept open from 2 p. m, to 7 pm
The motion was defeated by vote of 43 to
8.
TIE WHEAT CRor.-Thcre is just now
considerable anxiety about tho yield OF the
wheat crop almost ready to harvest. We
see by our county exchanges that in addition
to the scarcity of straw on the ground in
many places the fly and joint worm are de-
siroying large quantities in some localities.
We learn that their ravagcs are noticeable
in tins section, but SO far not to any consid-
cradle extent. While we hear some bad re-
ports, we also hear some good ones for in
stance, Mr. Samuel A. Nusbaum, of this dis
trict, was in our office on Monday and tells
us that he expects to have thrcc-fOurths of Il
full crop,-a portion of his wheat being as
heavy as he ever had. In Carroll county
the prospect seems to be worse. The West
minister Advocate of Saturday says the wheat
crop of that county has had hard time of
it. Much Of it, on low ground and on corn
ground, was wintcr-killcd. Then the fly at
tackled it, and now the green worm and the
rust are committing their ravagcs upon it.
1t is believed that the ensuing harvest will
yield the shortest crop that has been gar
ncred in this county for twenty years. The
green worm, which is attacking the wheat,
cuts the heads off rs with a knife -Banner.

An Improvement Company With

GRIFFIN, Ga, April IAN enthusias-
tic meeting of citizens was held this af-
ternoon for the purpose of organizing the
Griffin improvement Company. A char
ter was adopted with an authorized capt.
tai Of 500, 200, and the books we're opened
for subscriptions, and one-tnird the capi-
tai stock was at once subscribed. The
books will be kept open ten days, after
which parties stand ready to take any re-
manning stock, but there will probably be
little left then. Predictions are freely
made tonight that the stock will be at a
premium in sixty days. The charter pro-
vides for the erection of a hotel, COM
press, gas and water works, ETC., ana the
company is organized for the purpose OF
permanently improving the town as
much as to otherwise benefit the men,
bers. Griffin has been advancing steadily
for five year past, and this movement is
simply elimination OF what has gone
before. This can be put down as one Of
the most progressive cities of Georgia.

TWO LITTLE TRAVELLERS.
They Come from San Francisco TO
Live With Their Father.


Live With Their Father.
PITTsBURG, March 29.-TwO little boys,
with tags pinned on their coats reading,
go j. 7. Borch, AZ Third avenue, New
York." arrived in the city this morning
from San Francisco. They were travel
ing alone. One was years of age and
the other 10. The conductor placed them
in the care of Policeman Thomas Fender
at the Union station, and they were taken
into the restaurant for breakfast. The
smaller Of the two could hardly reach the
table, and in an attempt to do so upset a
glass OF milk in his lap. Policeman
Pender then took him IN his arms and fed
him with spoon. The elder boy told the
story OF their journey.
A couple of years ago, he said, his
mother eloped and went to San Francisco,
A few months ago she placed them in an
asylum. Their father, who is an engi-
neer on the New York Central railway,
learned OF their whereabouts, and sent
money for their passage to New York
The ladies who breakfasted at the depot
this morning became deeply interested in
the little travellers, and those who were
| going East sand the children would be
| well cared for while en- route to their
destination. This is the first time that
two such young children have crossed
the continent alone. The conductor who
brought them from Chicago said they
were the pets OF every one on the train
The smaller one was as lively as n
cricket, and his little black eyes sparkled
with intelligence. His name, he said,
was "Gussy."

The News congratulates Mr. n. w.
agent, whose office is in the Western
Union Telegraph building, corner
Twenty-first street and Second avenue,
on his increasing business, vim and en-.
terprise generally, but particularly on
his last deal. MIR. Armstrong Just
"stepped over" TO Augusta, paid $37, 800
for IA tract Of land, turned round On his
heels and sold 1t to syndicate for
100000, $4,000 thus being added
TO Birmingham wealth and bank de-.
pOsits; he retains al6o one flIth of the
stock. The laud lies near Augusta, Ga.
and consists Olive clip from an exchange
the entire " arren estate, three miles
from the city, containing 1900 acres of
land. They intend erecting hotel and
quite number of cottages on this place.
TO be used for both summer and winter
resort. The land is almost perfectly
level, and is fully 800 feet above the city,
overlooking Lake Olmstead on the East.
and directly North of Summeryille abou t
one mile.
The capitalists, through their attorney g,
Mr.. +. L. L0ckhart, are now endeaYorin z
10 get permission 10 run street. car track
into the city, and when this perm ssion 10
granted they will build line from their
place to the city, running dummy en-
gines. The track Will probably be con-
structed along the canal bank. The
Augusta and Knoxville also runs right
through the place, and, in case the first
plan fails, the company controlling the
ne " settle ment may b. able to use the rail-
road right of way for dummy ngines, or,
at any rate, obtain an accommodating
schedule running into and from the city.
This is truly beautiful site for such a
resort, and 1t Is certainly strange that the
citizens Of Augusta did not take advan-
tage OF such an opportunity instead of
leaving it for capitalists from otner States
When their Improvements are completed
they will undoubtedly realize handsome
profits from such a resort.
just last week Birmingham scooped up
the street car lines Of Chattanooga; now
Birmingham gets about all the money
possible out Of Augusta.
